Models for flank dynamics of Hawaiian volcanoes relate seismicity in the Hawaiian islands to volcanic edifice growth. In most models. tectonic earthquakes occurring along a subhorizontal detachment surface or weak zone at ...

The visible (0.33-1.0μm) reflectance spectrum of nine near-Earth asteroids have been measured with a two-beam photoelectric photometer and the 2.2m telescope at Mauna Kea Observatory. Reflectance spectra of eight additional ...

This work provides a new rapid way to determine mean principal refractive indices of minerals. Crushed mineral grains yield immersion data which are treated in a way new to optical crystallography. The mineral families so ...

The construction of high-rise buildings and other engineering structures in the downtown Honolulu area requires detailed site investigations prior to design and construction. This includes soil borings, environmental ...

Using the controlled-source electromagnetic technique, resistivity soundings were obtained at 49 •locations around the summit caldera and upper rift zones of Kilauea volcano. Each sounding consisted of vector measurements ...

The North Fiji Basin is a structurally complex marginal basin set between the obliquely converging Australia and Pacific Plates. This study uses recently acquired SeaMARC II imagery and bathymetry and GLORIA imagery as ...

Structural properties of olivines, pyroxenes, and amphibole crystals are investigated using Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Raman spectra of olivine crystals are measured along the forsterite-monticellite solid solution ...

Well injection of treated wastewater almost inevitably results in aquifer clogging and reduced injection capacity. In Hawai'i clogging has produced well overflows resulting in numerous public health, legal, and financial ...
